Allure Show Schedule for shorter 3 and 4 day cruises
OCSC Mike replied to Dolby1000's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You should have been able to book your shows by now (and thus see the schedule). -
No. Yes. Someone trying to upgrade from an interior to an ov balcony will have to bid quite a bit more than say someone trying to move up from a neighborhood balcony.

With your expert stalking and pouncing (still jealous of your Wonder price) you didn't need it.

It's 100% true. Here's my semi-live review from June...

Allure Show Schedule for shorter 3 and 4 day cruises
OCSC Mike replied to Dolby1000's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The 1st cruise from PC leaves on 10/25 (I'll be on it) and it's actually a weird 5-nighter from WED-MON to get it on schedule to do the 3/4's. Listen to @molly361; I think Allure is going to be her 2nd home while at PC. 😁 -
RoyalUP? (Bid for stateroom upgrade)
OCSC Mike replied to John&LaLa's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Good to hear. We fall into the "the cabin is for sleeping, showering, and changing" category so we pretty much always book interiors. When we have a balcony we never use it and my wife actually likes how dark and cold interiors get for sleeping and the occasional quick afternoon nap. Given all that, we'd rather use the savings elsewhere (like more cruises). We like to be around deck 9 or 10 so it's not too bad of a walk to just about any deck, up or down (I'm not bothered by much but I avoid crowded elevators whenever possible). If the window/seat and slightly extra room add anything, that's just a nice bonus. -
Port Canaveral Terminal 1 parking?
OCSC Mike replied to birdylady's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Except that the 10/25 cruise (which we're both on so you already know) is a 5-nighter to get Allure on schedule. -
That's more like it. 😋 I know you're not there to eat like I do but there are some good food options (including some healthy stuff like fruit & salad) at Skipper's Grill and Chill Grill (identical food). I'm usually there for the taco bar. That said, the chicken sandwich and funnel cake are probably my favorite included items at CocoCay.

Guaranteed Balcony - Wonder

Rarely but it can and does happen. -
Guaranteed Balcony - Wonder
OCSC Mike replied to cruisefun77's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That's why I also mentioned this (for Android users)... Method 2. Scan the bar code with a QR scanner from another device and that should also show you the numbers. -
RoyalUP? (Bid for stateroom upgrade)
OCSC Mike replied to John&LaLa's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Not correcting you to be a jerk, but these are considered interiors. Your general explanation is 100% correct though, as was Biker's. It only jumped out at me because I have a Central Park view on Allure this month. I originally booked an interior GTY and the difference was very small (it was cheaper than regular or connecting interiors for some reason, dynamic pricing algorithm I guess) so my wife decided we should just lock in a location we like and not risk getting a connecting interior or deck 3 or whatever and hope to change cabins after assignment with how full the ship is. Not sure I'll be looking out that window much but the room is a bit bigger than a standard interior, maybe I'll sit on the window bench, and if not... it was really to eliminate the gamble (and happy wife, happy life obviously). -
No more check in on the website-app only
OCSC Mike replied to BND's topic in Royal Caribbean International
This. Reservations opened on May 4th for my June 4th Wonder sailing. It’s not always exactly the 1st of the previous month as many say. -
Royal Caribbean Cocktail Recipes
OCSC Mike replied to PG_Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I somehow failed to try this on Wonder in June. I shall correct that mistake in March (and June and July). -
I don't do whiskey which many Mason Jar drinks include and fruity lemonade seemed to go with an early meal anyway (we had 10:45 brunch although we were there for a while eating so much). Best part of cruising in general... something for everyone! I was busy stuffing myself with chicken n waffles, peanut butter stuffed french toast, etc. 😁 Agreed. Very good. Glad you had something not overly healthy, lol. It sounded perfect for you when we talked about it earlier, glad you're happy with it. I still don't care about my cabin in general but I'm looking forward to at least having a new category later this month. Mine won't be as shiny and new as yours on the older ship we'll be on but same basic layout (the closet situation is different, I like the Wonder version with two wardrobe type units on either side of the bed, but not a big deal). Cheers!
